27 million South Africans are incentivized to stay at home and procreate by a communist government that milks 7 million taxpayers to the bone.
That is 25% of the budget going purely to social grants. Not eduction. Not Policing. Not Water.
Just grants.
But @GaytonMcK can't pay for Olympian athletes to represent the country.
If I were a benevolent dictator I would delete 60% of government cut tax by 30%.
Fair @hkrugertjie.
But then cut the R 6.6B from taxes and pass the 0.55% saving directly onto citizens.
Citizens can organize themselves. Better.
Following this chain of thought, I'd go further and delete 25 of the 42 government departments and pass the saving on to citizens.
I don't see why government should fund sports to begin with.
The fededations should raise the
money through sponssorship, and if it turns out that sponsors aren't interested, move on.

Generally, black people have the thinnest skin on earth.
One month ago a White woman was brutally beaten, punched in the head, and dragged by her hair in the middle of the street by multiple Black women.
Not a single media outlet covered this.
Not one.
...but 2 White girls make monkey gestures and it's the #1 story today.
I never knew there were so many pilots on X. Literally every second person on here could have navigated that Learjet to safety.
At the end of the day, the pilots screwed up and entered the gauntlet of the storm systems, which cost a family and their friend's lives. People can debate DEI or not.
People can talk about the "heroics" of the co-pilot's communications... but this wouldn't have happened if they had fully diverted away from the storm system, instead of trying to cut through a corridor to the Bahamas.
The arrogance of the flight crew to think that a Learjet, known for ice-related aerodynamic problems, can handle a Floridian unpredictable mess of storms is just crazy. Storms grow rapidly inside the system and can easily tear a plane like a Learjet apart. As soon as she said "clear light ice," that was already inching close to disaster... at that point it should have been a clear emergency scenario even before entering the final storm cell.
If they had followed the rule of maintaining at least 20 miles from the storm's edge, they could have been fine, just arrived late.
The male pilot had non-continuous employment, and his actual total experience is questionable. The female young co-pilot was only 20... depth of experience is just not a "thing" at that age.
That decision to enter that storm system is what killed innocent lives, and no amount of "glazing" the female pilot, or blaming the male pilot, changes that. It was still a joint decision by the flight crew.
Losing AGOA benefits can't cripple an economy that's already been cut at the knees by you and your thieving ANC.
But fuck you very much @Derek_Hanekom.
Exactly. And we should just move on and continue pursuing other markets. We have done quite well. No AGOA is not going to cripple our economy.

Black South Africans giddy with glee to blame Afriforum for losing AGOA, please use your SI before posting on social media🙏
South Africa loses AGOA eligibility from 1 Jan 2027 after President Trump determined it fails criteria on barriers to US trade/investment, corruption and national security/foreign policy threats (USTR statement).
2015 Obama warning: out-of-cycle review over longstanding poultry/pork/beef barriers; 60-day notice of ag-product suspension. Zuma government met benchmarks after negotiation, restoring access. Later Ramaphosa-era issues (expropriation, BEE rules, foreign policy) escalated US concerns through successive reviews.
US President decides annually via USTR-led interagency process per statute.
No evidence AfriForum/Solidarity determined the outcome. They lobbied US officials on property rights and minority concerns while urging retention of SA in AGOA to protect jobs; government policies and diplomacy are cited by US as the basis.
Hardest hit: automotive (Eastern Cape/Gauteng plants), citrus/wine/fruit (Western/Northern Cape rural areas), textiles. Estimates range 100k–500k+ direct/indirect jobs.

Even with the advent of SI and Google to dumb everything down if only you could fathom a meaningful question, black folk STILL don't have a grip on what AGOA is, what the impacts are or why SA lost it.👇🏻
